I'm not really interested in a new one, I need to be able to fix things myself. All those new cars have all kinds of witchcraft on them.

+1. Although I have little faith after seeing how Land Rover wrecked the LR4/Discovery 4, with the new Discovery. If it's a decent design, it would be nice to drive a Defender that's not 29 years old (thanks to the U.S. import law).

That is not a Veyron but the new much more expensive Chiron.

Tom, any chance you were cruising down Sherdain Dr yesterday (weds) like 545pm?

Saw a gent (wearing an orange jacket/sweater) driving a cream/tan colored 4Runner, thought maybe it was you.

I'm a sucker for front engined sports cars with a rear short deck. Great proportions; beautiful car.

I love that E92 GTS in the background too!

Thanks! It is a beast of a car, but really comfortable with the a/c running, you can really daily drive this car.

I always love these threads although we really should all be considered Tossers!

I think the only wings on this thread.......

My recent tour of the factory makes me eager for this next Vantage, although I want a V8 manual and I have a sneaking suspicion based on discussions at Gaydon that a Manual won't happen, in which case I will keep precious......

She looks great Craig

A-M dealer just along the road from me here in the Old Dart, so sometimes stop by for an ogle and chat. New DB11 is very nice.

I love these threads too. But I never have anything worth picturing in them. Just old beaters for me until I hit the lotto............do you have to play the lotto to win?.......i sure hope not........then I'll never have a car to post!

To know the future is to be trapped by it

My cars seem so run of the mill, vanilla ice cream compared to all the exotics in this thread.
